Southwest officers responded to a report of a "cutting" at a residence in the 600 block of Brisbane Avenue at about 11:00 a.m.

They found Carrington with multiple stab wounds.

It is believed that the victim had been engaged in a verbal and physical confrontation with another man. During the confrontation, the man armed himself with a sharp object and stabbed Carrington in the torso. The man then fled the scene prior to the arrival of officers, officials said.

Carrington was taken to University of Maryland Shock Trauma, where he later died.
